The weather is getting worse, what I took for the storm dying down this morning was just an intermission between the last one and a much heavier one that took off a couple of hours later. Now my progress has slowed to a crawl as I have had to put back on my heavier layers again and the wind seems intent on resisting me no matter which direction I go. I worry that my provisions are getting scarcer and that I may run out before I reach the border, I need to pick up the pace if I can. It is hard to see the way ahead of me though and much faster than I am going now I risk heading in the wrong direction.
